Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DOOR at 4.5 against Aptivated's 3.6. DOOR also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (44K vs 468). Aptivated's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DOOR holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DOOR has 44K ratings behind it against 468, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of DOOR's written reviews are positive against 16% of Aptivated's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DOOR ships an update every 9 days, Aptivated every 10 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
